There's a reason he's a fave, but there's a reason that we are all so traumatized by season 5 that we've taken to collectively picking apart Bobby. Bobby is what a majority of players would call the ideal LI (especially after season 5) because he's the only one that seems to be coded to only be able to romance the MC, that shit is appealing. It's intoxicating. I think our distrust in fusebox after season 5 has so many of us trying to figure out the ulterior motives of what is seemingly the franchises most "loyal" loveable boy. Season 2 has a seemingly endless combination of playthroughs depending on how you react and the choices you make, most of us have only ever been nice to Bobby, neutral or avoided him at all costs. Unless you're an avid hater it's hard to be mean to him, but seeing so many of the screenshots people have posted it has made it abundantly clear that this is necessary research. I've always wondered if we chose other options if we would discover the player Bobby route just by watching him with everyone else when he's not coupled with MC but also when he doesn't even like her. Think about this... Lucas mentions sneaky KISSES when he enters the villa. Now this could be referring to both lottie and MC kissing gary if you chose to have those sneaky kisses but season 2 (pre casa) is pretty good at clocking consistencies when not on Gary's route. His is the only one that glitches pre casa and is 100% meant to be a slow burn friends to lovers. The sneaky kisses (plural) has to include more than just Lottie/Gary. On a gary route Bobby and Lottie definitely get physical. She kisses him on night 9 if you couple with gary and that's not the weird part, it's that lottie and Bobby always fucking blush at eachother when they show PDA or when they talk about their relationship as more than friends. If Lottie is coupled with Bobby from Day 1 on a rocco route, she indicates she feels something with Bobby but not sure what it is. If you're coupled with Bobby on day 1 and you're mean or neutral and pick someone else as the fittest during T or D Bobby kisses Hope instead of you. If you have a low heartscore with him before the day 9 or disaster recouplings he will talk about chirpsing on with someone else and being miffed if you pick him. There's a lot that makes me think Bobby could be a player...it just depends on how we play the game. I've barely scratched the surface of his sus actions btw, and this is from a Bobby stan😅
